The Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN) wants the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) to explain on the corporation’s take-over of Talam Corporation Berhad’s (Talam) debts.

NONE Its coordinator, Mohd Zin Mohamed ( left ), said PKNS owed the Selangor people an explanation on its take-over of Talam’s debts, amounting RM392 million, from Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad (PNSB), Kumpulan Hartanah Selangor Berhad (KHSB) and Universiti Selangor (Unisel).

“The PKNS general manager, Othman Omar, should explain why PKNS is willing to take over Talam’s debts when everybody knows that PKNS is established to help those who cannot afford to buy houses and property.

“If the PKNS’ role has changed to taking-over of debts by corporate companies, then it should also take-over the debts owed by the Selangor people,” he told a media conference in Shah Alam today.

 On residents in Seri Kembangan provided with water supply recently, Mohd Zin said it proved that there was a water crisis in Selangor and the need for the Langat 2 water treatment plant project.

“The state government should stop lying to the people by claiming that there is enough water supply,” he added.
